On this Chromebook you will also find two USB 2.0 ports, one HDMI port, one multi card slot and combo mic / audio (3.5mm) jack. As already mentioned there is 2GB DDR3L RAM and 16GB SATA EMMC storage.

Other features are Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi (a/b/g/n/ac). The 4200 mAh battery that this book houses, as per the company gives up to 10 hours of mixed usage on a single charge. Users will also get access to 100GB Google drive storage for free for 2 years.

This is a good option for those looking for a low cost notebook for basic use – net surfing, chatting, social networks and office work (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). Do note you need net access to use this Chromebook for the first time, once the initial process is completed, you can work offline.

Wait for some months, windows 10 laptops would be available at this price to compete with chromebooks. They would be complete netbooks/laptops with a proper operating system. The problem with chrome books or for that matter any netbooks are the limited storage space and limited processor power (intel atom and rockchip are both mediocre processors).
